We have a top 8-10 goalie now, who's likely to improve...And a goalie who's projected ceiling is to surpass that. All I can say is I hope Holland play's his card right or we are going to be in for some heartbreak, one way or another, some years down the line.

Does Patterson have the ceiling that Howard (although Howard surpassed his projected ceiling) or Mrazek have? If it's anywhere close...we went from bottom of the barrel to stacked pretty quick in the goalie dept.

All I can say is Paterson is not as good as Mrazek when Mrazek played in the OHL.

Paterson played on a garbage team this year. i would think he plays one more year in the O while Mrazek plays a full season in Grand Rapids next year and then moves up to the Wings the season after. I think only 1 of Pearce or McCollum is with us next year, I thought I read that Pearce's contract is up
